Totally awesome! Great soup to have on a chilly evening. Leftovers at work for lunch the next day as well. Keeps well while frozen too.

I tried this recipe but did not have the onion powder so I used garlic salt and celery salt. I also used 2 beef boullion cubes disolved in 21 oz. of water instead of canned broth. Everyone really liked it, it was super easy and made a huge amount. I served it with biscuits. One bowl will fill you up. It's a great dish for the winter.
